Folklore Name Generators
Fairy names and fairy-town names inspired by folklore.
In folklore, people spoke about fairies carefully: they called them "the Good Folk" or "the Fair Folk" rather than risk offending them. That mix of beauty and danger is what makes fairy names fun to write.
The Fairy Name Generator builds first names, full names and grand epithets, and the Fairy Town Name Generator names the hidden places they live.
